Epic’s main rival, the Ikon Pass, has a season pass deadline of Dec. 13. Ikon is good at 38 destinations, including Aspen Snowmass, Steamboat, Winter Park, Copper Mountain and Eldora.

There are other dates to keep in mind this week as seven more mountains open for the season, including Aspen, which moved its opening date up five days to Saturday. Monday is the last day to set up your kids with season rentals through Christy Sports. Also, Christy will have a demo day Saturday at Loveland, and the deadline to sign up for that at Front Range Christy stores is Thursday.
